A Night Without Boundaries
09/17/2011 - By New York NY

A Night Without Boundaries

On Saturday night September 17th, The Sheba International Leadership Council (SILC) hosted its annual Night Without Boundaries event at downtown’s Broad Street Ballroom.

This magnificent room across from the NY Stock Exchange was filled with young professionals drawn from around the world. They came to join like-minded people to share their commitment and recognition of the need to build greater levels understanding through personal communication.

SILC is a pioneering international association of professional men and women committed to support the work of Sheba Medical Center in Israel. SILC chose to join Sheba’s mission, because Sheba consistently breaks through boundaries of race, religion and ethnicity in the Middle East and around the world to deliver first world health care to those in need. SILC’s mission is to advance the work of Sheba Medical Center, known as “A Hospital Without Boundaries.”

The Ballroom was set as one of New York City’s ubiquitous street fairs with food stands everywhere serving NY’s street delicacies. DJ Danny Chetrit brought the city’s pulsing rhythm to the ballroom.

The event was chaired by Lapo Elkann, one of Europe’s leading creative, fashion and business icons and Lise-Anne Basquiat, international humanitarian and sister of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Elkann, noted that, “I have visited Sheba three times and each time I see the special way they treat everyone – Israeli, Palestinian, Arab – anyone who comes to Sheba for care is the same. This is a very special place that breaks the expected boundaries wherever they go to bring human compassion to all.” Huge posters told the story of Sheba Medical Center’s global footprint as Israel’s Hospital Without Boundaries.

Tyler Grief, Chairman of SILC, noted, “our dream is to use Sheba Medical Center’s global healing initiatives in Haiti, in the West Bank, in South America, in China and Africa as our platform to bring together a diverse group from many young professional communities of New York and open channels of understanding, of humanity that can radiate to their communities throughout the world. We took a giant step in that direction last Saturday.”
